Two oxides of nitrogen, \(\mathrm{NO}\) and \(\mathrm{NO}_2\) react together at \(253 \mathrm{~K}\) and form a compound of nitrogen \(X\). \(X\) reacts with water to yield another compound of nitrogen \(Y\). The shape of the anion of \(Y\) molecule is :

  1. A tetrahedral
  2. B triangular planar
  3. C square planar
  4. D pyramidal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) triangular planar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{NO}+\mathrm{NO}_2 \stackrel{253^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) \(\underset{\text { (X) }}{\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} }\longrightarrow \underset{\text { (Y) }}{2 \mathrm{HNO}_2}\) \(\therefore\) Anion of…
